3 months ago abc_admin

Here at American Beauty College (ABC) we love to celebrate the successes of our students! From the day they set foot into our classrooms to the day they graduate, we encourage and highlight every achievement, big and small. This month we wanted to highlight two of our amazing students. One that is graduating this month and another who just started their journey. Check out their stories!

Karina Montoya

Karina is a barbering student at our West Covina campus. Throughout her time here she has shown great initiative when it comes to practical and theoretical learning. Within her class she serves as the shop manager. With that title Karina is in charge of making sure that the class stays orderly and on time. She ensures cleaning is done, assignments are passed out and collected when they are finished, and helps with any extracurricular activities. Her instructor says, “She has been a pleasure to have in class. I hope she keeps this positive, driven attitude that all hairdressers need to have.”

Karina is outstanding in her class, especially in being a helping hand. She also helps everyone feel welcomed, especially newcomers! It is truly amazing. We want to congratulate and express our admiration for Karina. Her instructor had a final word before she leaves our campus, “Thank you for being a positive human being!”

Martin Rivera

Martin is another barbering student of ours at the West Covina location. He has just started with us her at ABC, and we’ve be impressed at his dedication to his craft! We asked Martin how he went from freshman to the newest featured student. He said, “I have always done more than expected of me due to loving what I do!”

We appreciate that Martin has taken our mission to heart to always work hard. In this industry hard work will drive your future to its fullest potential! Because we have been so impressed with Martin’s success, we asked him to share a piece of advice with students who want to become the next highlighted student at ABC. “Always do what your instructors tell you to do and more. Do more than what is asked of you so that they know how interested you are.”

Martin’s current goals include to expand his knowledge and graduate, but his career goals stretch further. He dreams of opening a barber shop in the future. What a great goal that is, Martin! Your education is the first step to achieve that! We asked him to share what drives him on this career path. He said, “I have always liked to help people and [make] them feel happy. This career allows me to do that and I love it!”

Thank You!

We want to thank both students we have highlighted this month for all their hard work and dedication to learning. It is a joy to see students like Karina and Martin succeed. If you want to be the next freshman at ABC, contact us today to learn more about our programs! We’d love to help you on your journey.

She owned two salons by the age of twenty-one, and finally a School Owner in 1976 at the age of twenty-seven. With perseverance and dedication, this remarkable woman has created a successful and fruitful life in the Beauty Industry.

Jennifer Roman is the eyes and ears at American Beauty College. Practically born into the industry, by the time she was four years old she was a hair model for various beauty expos, and events. During her middle and high school years, she was a hair stylist and make-up artist to her friends and family, which led to her own successful business as a professional make-up artist. She graduated from the University of California, Irvine, in 2012 and has thus brought her innovative knowledge, experience, and creativity to American Beauty College.

While teaching, she continued her work practicing as a cosmetologist. She’s had the opportunity to work on the TV series “Roswell” on the Warner Bros. network, also had an opportunity to work with Sylvester Stallone’s stunt double. Claudia’s favorite aspect of her career is giving back to the community.
